A method of determining operational performance parameters of a device (e.g., of a vehicle) with device mounted sensors and computer-implemented models. Further, a system, such as a virtual sensor applied to a device, such as a vehicle, for determining operational performance parameters of the device is provided. The system includes device mounted sensors and at least one processing unit configured to execute the computer-implemented method to generate an output parameter set. Measured data may be combined, and calculated parameters may be provided to a Kalman-filter to enable virtual sensing of unobservable parameters.
